When tie explosion occGrEad all
the Anarchist prisoners were on their
feet At an instant and every one Of
them looked stunned and frightened.
Juiler !Eolz AZ omc: gava orders to
have every one OF the other cells
searched. and Parsons cell was the
first on which q descent was made.
The deputies entered his cell, took
him hv the wrists and shoulders end
led him to Folz's private office.
There he was detained until his cell
WAS thoroughly searched and nothing
was found. The ex-editor of the
Alurm shivered with excitement, fear
and curiosity. His face was white
and lis eyes looked ready to start
from their sockets. lie was in bis
SHIT and trousers, and wide felt
lat shaded his face. 1t is believed
by some OF the reporters that some
thing was found on Parsons, although
the iail officials deny this. Parsons
was given new suit Of clothes to
put on and was taken to another cell,
where he now is with two deputies
standing guard over him. One of
them stands at the back Of the cell
aud the other at the door. The other
men and their cells were also search
ed, but nothing found. When Engel
was being searched be completely
broke down aud cried like child.
HOW LINGG sECRETED HIS FATAL CAPS.
Jailer Folz was asked this evening
to explain the way in which Lingg
kept his dynamite from the eyes OF
his keepers: Said he: You know
Lingg had very bushy head of hair.
1t is not without the bounds Of posi-
bility that he placed the cap in his
locks aud kept it there while we
searched him last Sunday. At that
time he was stripped completely and
nv deputies searched all his clothing
and could find nothing Of q suspi
cious character"
HOW L1NGG KILLED HIMSELF.
Jailer Folz thus explains the man
ner in which Lingg took his life. He
said: ''Lingg in some way became
possessed Of dynamite cap. This
cap is between one inch and one and
half inches long. 1t is made of
copper, and the outer end is plugged
up with piece Of lead. The copper
70. at least half an inch is filled with
dynsmite. Then q small portion is
filled with Illuminating powder. Into
this powder runs fuse made Of
braided cloth. In my opinion Lingg,
while lying in bed. reached out his
hand, took from bis table lighted
candle, then placed the explosive in
bis mouth, with the fuse outward.
This he placed to the candle, and his
portal wound followed.
THE SCENE IN THE CELL.
The scene in Lingg's cell after the
explosion was ghastly. Teeth, bits
OF jaw bone, shreds Of flesh and blood
were scattered all over the narrow
compartment. A little trail of blood
marked its way over the stone flag
g,ng to the room where Lingg was
carried. Within fifteen minutes after
the explosion Fischer Parsons and
Engel were taken from their cells and
searched in the jailer's private office.
All their clothing was taken from
them and new suits, made by the
sheriff's orders, we're given them.
Sheriff Matson says that Lingg was
stripped and carefully searched yes
terday and the day before.
LINGG's HORRIBLE APPEARANCE.
Lingg presented 8 most horrible
sight with the lower part Of his jaw
completely torn off and his thick au-
burn i.air still matted with blood.
His checks were torn out and hung
down in jagged pieces upon his neck.
His teeth were knocked out, gums
torn away and but small stump Of
tongue appeared protru ling from his
mangIed throat. In the upper part
of tue throat, immediately under the
lower part of the jawbone, terrible
gap had been torn out from the in
side.
TIE FATAL EXPLOSIVE.
Turnkey O'Neill discovered the
little ageut which had served Lingg
to accomplish his terrible work. 1t
was small Illuminating cap little
over an inch l)ng. 1t had been filed
with illuminate of mercury. and q
small fuse which is usually attached
to these instruments Of death, had
ssaas.saa ! tnusAsa>'c~>-Sat9.t tzsat al the
time lssporter thought he was
lighting cigar. When Lingg com
mittel the deed lie was lying on his
cot. After the affair, when his cell
was searcted, another candle was
found. A. the top of it, barely con
cealed By the ends of the wick, q
second Illuminating cap was found
so it is supposed that Lingg's at
tempted suicide was committed with
one similarly hidden. The coudles
were furnished by the jail, so that
the caps mast have been pot in by
Lingg himself.
THE WORK OF THE SURGEONS!
As soon as the surgeon arrived he
ordered Lingg taken to another
rom. The one selected was the
bath room of the Jail. The dying
man was carried to this apartment!
and placed Oh hastily ilnproviseC
table. BY this time three other ply
sicians had arrived. Oae dressed
the torn flesh, arother gave attentio!
